Friends of Mineral Town is a good remake of one of the most beloved entries in the series.

Only case where I consider pre-ordering is if there's a decent discount for doing it and I know that I'll definitely want the game at launch (for example if most of my group of friends will be playing it at the same time).

This was the first game with which I experienced the joy of not having a pc strong enough to run it. I don't remember anything about the game, just the stuttering... And I think there was a desert or something.

Have you played any of the harvest moon / story of seasons games? It's the series that inspired Stardew Valley. Most of them are, in general, much more chill than even Stardew itself. There are a bunch of them on steam (on there, look only for the story of seasons games and ignore the ones named Harvest Moon)

I said it as a joke but I suspect it might be true, too. I see a lot of people complaining that they see too many posts of people they block.

I'm just too curious. Sometimes I even Google answers for questions on TV shows that I know will be answered 5 seconds later.

Try blocking her, the algorithm will prioritize her posts if you do.

I'm surprised nobody has done yet as I've seen all sorts of features be added to earphone cases. Maybe a decent touchscreen is not yet cheap enough to throw at some case without the profit margin of the apple brand.

I've recently been working with some niche tool that has very little documentation on the web but is open source and has a ton of discussions on public email groups. Chatgpt is sometimes able to figure out what param I need to send for specific stuff in that tool even if there are zero Google matches for the param name, but more often than not it just hallucinates stuff or mention things that no longer exists. I've created the habit of always asking things like "is that right?" or "is that answer up to date?" before even reading the first response from it and it often replies with things like: "no, that param only exists in some other similar tool" or "no that API has been deprecated" and shit like that.

If it were up to me I wouldn't even be using chatgpt at all due to all the time it wasted with random stuff it makes up, but whatever training data openAI used, it surely had more information about the niche stuff I'm working with than the web does at this point - so sometimes it can still save me time too.

Yeah. Personally I don't see life as being "sacred" or anything and I think people should ultimately be free to choose to end their own if they really want to (provided they also get good support for trying to deal with whatever leads to that choice) - but it kinda scares me that this "sanctity" that is attributed to life is the only thing stopping people from being casually OK with murder.

TIL the Kama Sutra is just an average Netflix show released 140 years too early.

 

Just because the best thing might have been easy to answer, I want you all to think a little more to recall what was the second best thing that happened to you this year.

 

Anything exciting going on in your field of work this year? Or breakthroughs in science, new technologies developed, things like that.

Some news that would be completely mundane today but scary or shocking in the past.

 

Tava querendo comprar uma pra não precisar mais ficar correndo em gráfica sempre que preciso assinar algum documento, mas pqp é tudo apenas 110v. E a informação ainda fica bem escondida pra maioria delas.

Eu tava comparando uns 4 modelos pensando em qual comprar quando por acaso vi um comentário em um deles falando sobre ser 110v, aí fui conferir e todas eram. To tão acostumado com tudo ser bivolt hoje em dia que se não fosse o comentário eu nem teria conferido.
